[shell-coding] Re: Newbie question

I don't know for sure, but it sounds to me like the kind of error that
LiteMan was written to correct.  LiteMan was a Litestep module that recently
became part of the core code that enables the shell to access 'special'
Windows folders like Explorer does.  I'd recommend you look at its code or
documentation for a hint on how to fix your problem.

Subject: [shell-coding] Newbie question


I have written a program that I am running as the windows shell on win2000,
as set in the registry.  From this program it is a requirement that I be
able to launch the control panel applet (ncpa.cpl - network and dial-up
connections), however when my program is running as the shell I am unable to
do this. When I launch the network control panel running the application
when it is not the shell it works correctly, otherwise I receive the error
message:

"Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied"

ncpa.cpl seems to be the only control panel applet that is affected by the
new shell. When i try to open the applet from the command line (
"rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL ncpa.cpl" ) i get the same error.

what am i doing wrong?

Thanks!
